Covert Digital Infrastructure Investigation Manual
The Covert Digital Infrastructure Investigation Manual addresses the infrastructure layer criminals use to resist traditional investigation - from blockchain domains that can't be seized to operating systems that leave no trace.
Authored by Rohas Nagpal, it covers investigative approaches for:
- decentralized domains
- encrypted storage protocols
- privacy-focused email services
- encrypted messaging platforms
- privacy browsers
- privacy operating systems
- proxy / obfuscation tools
Rather than attempting to break modern encryption, the manual emphasizes attacking implementation weaknesses, human operational security failures, payment trails, device forensics, and timing analysis - operating on the principle that while the cryptography may be mathematically secure, the humans using it make mistakes.
